Thanks! I had my computer on another LAN a week or so ago. On that LAN I  
had to change my network settings to DHCP. The DHCP client must have  
overwritten my resolv.conf! I didn't know it did that, I just made the  
connection because of what was in my resolv.conf file. This weekend after  
installing VirtualBox and then starting coLinux and finding that I couldn't  
reach the internet I just updated /etc/network/interfaces since I didn't  
know/remember resolv.conf

Putting "nameserver 192.168.0.254" in resolv.conf fixed my problems

Henry and Daniel, thank you both for your help!
